Davies shocked to win in Daytona
North Herefordshire motorcycle rider Chaz Davies has become the first Welshman to win the Daytona 200.
Davies finished second in the race but winner Josh Hayes was disqualified for technical violations.
Hayes had beaten Davies by 32 seconds in the 69-lap, 200 mile race on the famous Daytona International Speedway.
"I'm absolutely shocked, but gutted for Josh. Obviously this stuff is out of his control and he deserved to win the 200," Davies said.
